Improving Retail Efficiency with cWatch at AD Delhaize Wezemaal
Background:
Sofie Vranckx, the store manager at AD Delhaize Wezemaal, has been leading the store for four years. Over time, she’s seen the challenges of managing a busy retail environment, where efficiency, customer satisfaction, and time management are crucial.
To enhance these aspects, she implemented a new technology solution — cWatch — which has made a significant impact on both customer service and team productivity.
Challenge
Like many retail managers, Sofie faced the challenge of quickly addressing customer needs and ensuring smooth store operations. Before cWatch, the store team had to rely on traditional methods to check product availability, respond to customer inquiries, and resolve issues.
This often meant sending employees to the cashier or back and forth through aisles to check inventory, leading to delays, customer dissatisfaction, and inefficiency.
Solution:
Sofie introduced cWatch, a smart technology solution designed to streamline communication and problem-solving on the shop floor.
With the watch, she can instantly connect with her colleagues, access information, and resolve customer issues without wasting time.

Implementation:
With cWatch on her wrist, Sofie can approach any colleague at any time, speeding up decision-making and task completion. This has been especially helpful when a customer needs immediate assistance or when employees need quick clarification. For example, when a customer inquires about a product, Sofie can quickly check product details without needing to leave the customer’s side.
Additionally, cWatch allows the team to address issues that previously took multiple steps. For instance, a customer would have had to wait for an employee to go back to the cashier to check a product’s price, then return to the aisle for confirmation. Now, the entire process is handled in a single, efficient movement, reducing the time customers spend waiting and improving their overall experience.
Results:
Increased Efficiency
By cutting out unnecessary steps, Sofie and her team can resolve customer queries and issues much faster. What once required multiple employees and steps is now accomplished in a fraction of the time.
Time-Saving
cWatch has allowed Sofie and her team to save significant time throughout their shifts. This efficiency also benefits other employees on the shop floor, enabling them to focus on their tasks rather than running around looking for answers.
Improved Customer Experience
Customers have noticed the difference. The quicker responses and faster service have made their shopping experience smoother and more enjoyable, leading to higher satisfaction levels.
Adaptation and Adoption
While the introduction of cWatch was new at first, employees quickly adapted and appreciated its benefits. Today, it’s become a key part of the store’s daily operations.
Feedback
“cWatch is not only a big time-saver for me but also a valued aid for my shop floor colleagues. It expedites our processes, reducing waiting times and boosting overall efficiency. I see it’s a game-changer for us and for every high-paced retail environment.”
